Souvenance

‘I think the poet is the last person who is still speaking the truth when no one else dares to. I think the poet is the first person to begin the shaping and visioning of the new forms and the new consciousness when no one else has begun to sense it; I think these are two of the most essential human functions’

I had a lovely studio visit from Michael Gaca of Belgrave St. Ives, a top Cornish gallery. Arguably the best. He drove all of the way from west Cornwall to west Wales to view and select from my series The Intimacy Of Liminal Spaces.

The result is a Sarah Poland Solo Exhibition at Belgrave St. Ives in November 2016.

12th December 2015 to 6th January 2016

For this show I will be showing a two lithographs.

Belgrave St. Ives’ current exhibition is PRINTS & DRAWINGS, an exhibition of accessibly priced works by Contemporary, St Ives Modern and Modern British artists. The show includes over 120 works and offers the opportunity to purchase affordable works by a wide range of well known artists. A catalogue of works will be available at the beginning of December.

I have an exhibition up currently showing work from ‘Either Side Of The Night’, an exhibition held at Belgrave Gallery in 2008. The work was shown then for three weeks and has been in storage since. So, those which didn’t sell in the brief window of opportunity, with frames touched up, they are now in the large dining room, over looking the Atlantic, at the Druidstone Hotelin Pembrokeshire.

This is a positively bohemian establishment where you might find yourself sitting next to gypsies, food lovers or rock stars. It has a relaxed and worn-in atmosphere where one could find a nice corner, perhaps in the walled garden, to sip coffee and write a book. They even serve fabulous food All day, which is otherwise unheard of, so if you come off the coastal path hungry at 3, you will be catered for. They also serve good beer and have a calendar of acoustic gigs.

Beautiful, high quality greetings cards are available to purchase either individually, as wrapped and ribboned gift packs or wholesale.

I have opened an Etsy shop where you can browse and purchase. Here is a preview of the page, please click on the page to view it live.

I will also be adding a page to my website sarahpoland.co.uk

The cards are reproductions of my artwork; drypoint etchings, lithographs and oil paintings, all professionally printed. They measure 120x170mm, are printed on 300gsm card, supplied with a white envelope and are cellophane wrapped for protection. They are blank inside.

The back of the card details the artwork and also has the Barnardos logo, endorsed by them, because I, the artist, promise to donate 10% of profits from the card to the children’s charity.

On purchasing these cards you will be supporting both Barnardo’s children’s charity and a living artist.
